"Short Stories"
This is a link to a YouTube video that my students produced last year. It covers the 5 elements of short stories. Maybe we could do another one this year and improve upon last year's: Video on Short Stories
"Seventh Grade"
This is a YouTube link to a video on "Seventh Grade," by Gary Soto that I show before we read the story to generate interest: Video of "Seventh Grade"
Maybe our students could try to create our own version of this after watching the one on YouTube.
The following link has some great handouts for several stories, but I am using the ones for "Seventh Grade," by Gary Soto on p. 6 of our Read XL book. Handouts for "Seventh Grade" by Gary Soto
